Enhancing Language Model Stability with Automated Detection of Under-trained Tokens in LLMs
Tokenization is crucial in computational linguistics, particularly for training and operating large language models (LLMs). It involves breaking down text into manageable tokens, which is essential for model functionality. Effective tokenization improves model performance, but underrepresented tokens in the training data can destabilize the model.
Challenges in Tokenization
A common challenge is the misalignment between tokenizer training and model training, leading to under-trained tokens. This can cause erratic model behavior, such as producing nonsensical outputs.
Novel Detection Method
Researchers at Cohere introduce a novel approach that utilizes the model’s embedding weights to automate and scale the detection of under-trained tokens. This method systematically identifies glitch tokens by analyzing the embedding weights and comparing them against a normative model of adequately trained tokens.
Implications and Advantages
This research significantly improves the accuracy and robustness of language models. Automated detection and rectification of under-trained tokens enhance the training process, ensuring that all tokens in a model’s vocabulary are adequately prepared for real-world applications.
